The church has helped me to gain and maintain close friends.
here's the more targeted data on gender
men's social circles have shrunk more than women's, and fewer men report having friends they lean on for emotional support
but this is clearly a whole of society problem, with secondary gendered effects www.americansurveycenter.org/why-mens-soc...

Tomorrow, a colleague and I have the privilege of welcoming new teachers to our school. We get to spend the morning showing them around and introducing them to our school culture. I'm looking forward to meeting them and all that they're going to do to help us be a better school for our students!

I'm a Christian today because of the influence of strong women in my life. My mother, grandmother, and aunt all shaped my trust in the Lord more than any other person.

It didn't take long for our new Director of National Intelligence to start spouting Russian propaganda. What a shameful lie.

Many Christians are saying service to others should be meted out by individuals in community rather than by the government. How about both? Working to solve problems all together, not just individually, is part of our role as members of a democracy. 🎙️Holy Post 657

AP Government students learn about the concept of agency capture. They may have to introduce the concept of government capture in the future curriculum.

Eliminating USAID is not only morally dumb, it's strategically dumb. It is a primary instrument of American soft power, generating good will toward our country.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

We rewatched Solo tonight, and I still think it's one of the best #StarWars movies. The people on the Internet don't know what they're talking about.

President Carter was the best of us. His character, faith, and belief in what America could be will be sorely missed.

In his annotated bibliography, one of my college students in my U.S. History course wrote, "It did not take me long to realize I knew very little, and what I knew was clouded in myth and legend." I consider this course a success! #education
